GT gave it an 8.2 with a fairly negative review.

But then again, GT is 360 biased so why am I looking there

Yes, life was better once. But getting all worked up over the paradise he'd lost was blinding him to the joys of mediocrity. Today's joy was snot-colored soup and a lecture, but at least he wouldn't starve. Home is where you hang your hat.

Man, weren't you the one who quoted bbb in your sig that said that the only review that matters is your own?

Yeah, but I still watch GT for video footage and info on general gameplay, flaws, glitches, etc.

Full View on the game so far after playing for about 5 and half hours.

Spoiler:Kind of Long ...

Highlight this box with your cursor to read the spoiler text.Simply put, THE best game on the Wii so far. I have never played a game with so much depth and playing value before. The land in which you play is ENORMOUS, there are tons of areas, multiple bosses, tons of mini-bosses and hundreds of variations of different monsters. You can upgrade your village in tons of different areas as you unlock them by defeating their local guardian, each area has it's own theme and unique buildings. There are tons of jobs including Carpenters, Miners, Grunts, Hardened Fighters, and much more. You can really take control of your kingdom by purchasing tons of new upgrades and watch as not only your kingdom grows, but your castle and Princess amount grow as well. EVERY character, whether they are important or not, is unique and you will actually begin to grow to have relationships with these characters.

Speaking of relationships, every character has their own life, meaning they make new friends and learn to live with the people around them. As they fight their bonds will grow and you can marry them so they can have children, which is like a job all its own. When one of your team dies it will come off as tragic to their friends, and even possibly you and you can see this as their friends put on funeral wear to mourn.. If your like me you will find yourself knowing all the names of your fighters and want to keep them alive for the whole game.

Don't worry though, COMPLETE death is somewhat uncommon because most of the time the killed units will wash up on resurrection beach (I believe that's the name), but this isn't always the case.

Your town might seem very basic in the beginning, but by the time you finish off the first enemy king you will really start to see a growing kingdom, with the benefits of course. You'll unlock new, easy methods of creating your team, including new formations (such as defense formation) as well as the ability to have a larger squad.

You'll have to make use of all the different units, whether you need them to shoot from long range at normally impossible to reach units, or to build bridges or stairs to reach new areas. You'll find each unit a neccesity on your team, making a strategic pick harder and harder as more units are unlocked. Even the chef is important!

You can complete daily missions to unlock gold (everything you find is worth money, so don't be picky) or you can except missions to fight off an areas Guardian. After defeating the Guardian new areas will be unlocked with new buildings and possibly jobs.

The Boss Battles as of yet are AMAZING, each battle is different and requires you to take on a new strategic method, whether you must destroy Tiki Posts so that an Old "Hag" can't remain unharmed or to dodge or destroy falling pottery. Every battle will leave you satisfied.

OH AND DID I MENTION! All of this is only after beating 1 of the 7 Kings!?

Now that's content!

Along with all of that their are lots of extra bonus features. Every Princess when saved will give you a book which you must complete, the only book I have so far requires you to find 20 rare areas, each area found will unlock a new painting.

Now on to paintings, you can customize your castle by adding paintings, their seems to be around over 100 paintings, possibly more, each requires a different method of unlocking, such as complete the book tasks or defeating a King.

Also, eventually you will unlock an art museum, sadly their is no art because it's all lost, well your new job for the "curator" is to find the lost art, the coolest part about this is, ALL of the art is fanart from the Make a Monster competition where kids were asked to design a monster for the game, these are most likely the ones not chosen. It will also list the artist, so people not involved in the creating of the game can feel involved and important.

I never thought we would see this day, where you and I both love the same game. It brings tears to my eyes :3

re: The Official Little King's Story Thread of Conquering Lands, Wooing Princesses, and Commanding Citizens

Dammit, stop it! Now I have to buy it, Excitebots, and WSR all at the same time! That's over 9000!

EDIT: Good news, I'm buying LKS, cause Exitebots deal is false!
